C97® | CuNi1Pb1 | C19160 key properties

C97® | CuNi1Pb1 | C19160 is a free machining, heat treated leaded copper nickel alloy combining high mechanical strength and electrical conductivity, designed for connector components operating under high mechanical and thermal stress. Perfectly suited for harsh environments, C97® performs reliably under high temperatures and high mechanical solicitation, making it a preferred solution for demanding connector applications. Designated under C19160, this alloy meets established requirements for high performance copper based connector materials.

C97® | CuNi1Pb1 | C19160 exhibits limited thermal stress relaxation, allowing connectors to maintain contact force over time when exposed to elevated temperatures. It also demonstrates excellent fatigue resistance, ensuring reliability over repeated mating and unmating cycles, even under vibration and thermal loading. In addition, C97® provides a more environmentally friendly alternative to beryllium and cadmium copper alloys, while maintaining high functional performance in critical applications.

As a copper nickel alloy specifically engineered for connectors, C97® delivers a reliable combination of mechanical durability, thermal stability and electrical performance.
